Ch. 9 - Controlling Microbial Growth in the Environment
9장, 문제 2
Which of the following substances or processes kills microorganisms on laboratory surfaces?
a. Antiseptics
b. Disinfectants
c. Degermers
d. Pasteurization
검증된 단계별 안내1
Understand the definitions of each option: Antiseptics are chemicals used to reduce or inhibit microbial growth on living tissues, such as skin.
Disinfectants are chemical agents used to destroy or kill microorganisms on inanimate objects and surfaces, such as laboratory benches and equipment.
Degermers are substances or processes that remove microbes mechanically or chemically from living tissues, primarily to reduce microbial load but not necessarily kill all microorganisms.
Pasteurization is a heat treatment process used to reduce microbial load in liquids like milk, but it is not typically used for disinfecting surfaces.
Based on these definitions, identify which option specifically refers to killing microorganisms on laboratory surfaces, focusing on the role of disinfectants.

Types of Disinfectants
Antiseptics
Antiseptics are substances applied to living tissues, like skin or mucous membranes, to reduce the number of microbes and prevent infection. Unlike disinfectants, they are safe for use on the body but are generally less potent against microorganisms on surfaces.

Pasteurization
Pasteurization is a heat treatment process used to kill pathogenic microorganisms in food and liquids, such as milk, without compromising quality. It is not used for disinfecting surfaces but rather for reducing microbial load in consumables.
